Custom Time Clock Software: Mobile Solutions for the Construction Industry

Gain Added Efficiency By Customizing Your Mobile Time Clock Software

Tailoring mJobTime’s Custom Time Clock Software To Meet The Special Needs of Your Business

At mJobTime, we have focused on giving our customers a large number of configuration options to make our application as flexible as possible. However, software programs are designed to accommodate the maximum number of companies possible. We realize that there are going to be situations where mJobTime may not address certain facets of your business processes, but we ultimately strive to provide employee time clock solutions that will be unique to every business.

We look upon these situations as opportunities. This is because we love to get input from our customers about our time clocks for construction as well as our other software. Many times, this input can lead to a new feature or functionality that becomes a standard part of the program. Oftentimes, when the amount of work and time involved is not significant, we will do the work at no charge. Even in those situations where there is a substantial amount of resources required to do the work, if we feel it will improve the product, we often will share the cost of the modification with the customer. In those situations where the customization is very unique to a customer, we will provide a quote for the work and allow the customer to make their own decision.

Whatever the case, our development team has earned quite a reputation for doing outstanding work in a reasonable time period. They will work with you to get a detailed understanding of your needs, propose a solution, develop and test the solution, and follow-up to insure that our employee time clock solutions are working as intended once released. Our customers constantly rave about the amount of time we have saved them with our modifications. Usually, the ROI on our customizations is very short.

Whether it’s a special report or a very specific way to calculate travel or per diem pay, our crackerjack development staff is always ready to meet your custom modification challenges. They thrive on being able to make mJobTime (and our time clocks for construction) meet even your most stringent and unique requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Creating a construction project budget is a critical step to ensure the success of your construction project and the overall financial health of your business. It involves meticulously planning, estimating, and tracking the costs of the projected work.

Here are 3 steps to create a successful construction budget:

  1. Define the scope of work required: Clearly outline what your constitution project entails, including the materials needed, key team members, labor costs, equipment, and other expenses.
  2. Conduct cost estimates: Use historical cost data, market rates, and expert opinions to estimate the costs for each item in the scope of work.
  3. Add contingencies: Include a contingency fund for unexpected costs, usually a percentage of the total estimated costs.

Using specialized software like mJobTime’s budgeting software solution to create and manage your budget can significantly streamline your budgeting process, save time, and increase accuracy to ensure you stay on budget throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Keeping track of construction costs is a multifaceted task that involves monitoring labor hours, material costs, equipment usage, and other variables that impact your budget. While traditional budgeting methods like spreadsheets and manual processes can be used, they are prone to errors and inefficiencies. Construction budgeting software offers the best option for managing construction costs.

mJobTime’s construction accounting software includes real-time tracking, automation, and financial reports for project managers to accurately track all the job costs of your construction projects.

Construction budgeting software is a specialized tool designed to help construction businesses manage, track, and control the financial aspects of their projects.
